About

I have been researching my genealogy ever since I was 12 years old when I found the family trees that my mother and my aunt created in the 1930s with the help of their paternal grandmother.  So, a lot of starts, stops, and reverses have been experienced.   As of 2025, I have started treating the research I am doing as separate projects which are given specific(ish) amounts of time each month.  These projects include:

• The manuscript review / research of the Hotchkiss, Lee, Munn, Tilden and Other Related Families that I found in my local library. The resulting volume has been completed and is available at Amazon.com.
• Researching to “matches” Ancestry reported in their Thru Lines application trying to tie the persons to my database entries.
• Research into my Stephens / FitzStephens Family line dating back to the Norman Invasion of England.
• Trying to complete the gathering of documentation for supplemental entries for membership in the Sons of the American Revolution
• Trying to assemble the documentation for supplemental entries for my Mayflower Descendants membership
